I can't edit the resources because I want the Statusbar to show a different description to that displayed in the tooltip.
 
Initially I tried:
pCommandBars->FindControl(xtpControlButton,ID_FILE_NEW,...)pControl->SetTooltip(...)
pControl->SetDescription(...)
 
This only changed the toolbar item and not the menu item.
 
I found that you can call a function:
pCommandBars->EnableActions()
 
and get the control with the call:
pCommandBars->GetActions()->FindAction(ID_FILE_NEW)
 
setting the Tooltip and description now effects both menu and toolbar items, but I still have the problem that the status bar reflects the change to the description, showing new line characters as squares (yuk!)

Hi,
Why you can't edit resources ?
 
You can find control and call its pControl->SetDescription method

Does anyone know if there is a way of customizing the title and description of a tooltip, beyond editing the resources.

We would lilke the tooltip description to have multiple lines and dffierent to that which appears in the Statusbar.
 
Thanks.
